Intevac Announces Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2023 Financial Results

Santa Clara, Calif.—February 5, 2024—Intevac, Inc. (Nasdaq: IVAC), a leading supplier of thin-film processing systems, today reported financial results for the fiscal fourth quarter and year ended December 30, 2023.

Q4 and Fiscal 2023 Highlights

 

   

Successfully completed TRIO development program and achieved qualification of initial TRIO system before year-end 2023.

 

   

Q4 sales of $12.9 million exceeded prior expectations due to the acceleration of heat-assisted magnetic recording (HAMR) technology upgrades for our hard disk drive (HDD) customers. Total revenues of $52.7 million for fiscal 2023 represented very strong growth of 47% year-over-year.

 

   

Achieved all-time record sales of HDD upgrades – for both the fiscal third quarter and full year 2023 – in support of the HAMR technology transition currently underway on our industry-leading 200 Lean® flagship platform.

 

   

Successfully re-negotiated order backlog for two capacity-adding 200 Lean systems during Q4, in favor of additional HAMR process module upgrades.

 

   

Ended 2023 with $72.2 million in cash, restricted cash, and investments, which was slightly below forecast due to delayed collections from our largest customer.

“We are pleased to announce a strong finish for fiscal 2023, within both of our primary served markets,” commented Nigel Hunton, president and chief executive officer. “In our HDD business, during what was one of the most challenging years in the industry’s history, we achieved exceptionally strong year-over-year revenue growth of 47% and approached nearly $53 million of sales, the vast majority of which was aimed at enabling our customers to achieve the most significant new technology transition of the industry’s last 20 years. The initial ramp underway of drives incorporating heat-assisted magnetic recording (HAMR) technology comes as a direct result of Intevac’s long history of HDD leadership and tireless efforts throughout 2023.

“Looking forward, the most important new driver of Intevac’s future revenue growth is our groundbreaking TRIO platform, and our first system achieved qualification in the fourth quarter. This is a key milestone in the growth trajectory of Intevac, as the TRIO achieved key performance metrics that will enable Intevac to address an estimated $1 billion served market.

“The achievements of 2023 place Intevac on a solid trajectory for future growth, with the strength of the balance sheet maintained.” Mr. Hunton concluded, “We have taken a key step forward in our plan to diversify and grow our product portfolio and customer base, and we look forward to achieving greater success and momentum in each of our end markets in 2024.”

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Intevac’s non-GAAP results exclude the impact, where applicable, of restructuring charges, fixed asset disposals associated with a restructuring program, discontinued operations and litigation settlements. A reconciliation of the GAAP and non-GAAP results is provided in the financial tables included in this release.

Management uses non-GAAP results to evaluate the Company’s operating and financial performance in light of business objectives and for planning purposes. These measures are not in accordance with GAAP and may differ from non-GAAP methods of accounting and reporting used by other companies. Intevac believes these measures enhance investors’ ability to review the Company’s business from the same perspective as the Company’s management and facilitate comparisons of this period’s results with prior periods. The presentation of this additional information should not be considered a substitute for results prepared in accordance with GAAP.
